10/26/07 Grif.Net – Helping Hand

A husband and wife were driving down a country lane on their way to visit
some friends. They came to a muddy patch in the road and the car became
bogged. After a few minutes of trying to get the car out by themselves, they
saw a young farmer coming down the lane, driving some oxen before him.

He stopped when he saw the couple in trouble and offered to pull the car out
of the mud for $50. The husband accepted and minutes later the car was free.

The farmer turned to the husband and said, “You know, you’re the tenth car
I’ve helped out of the mud today.”

The husband looked around at the fields incredulously and asked the farmer,
“When do you have time to plow your land? At night?”

“No,” the young farmer replied seriously, “Night is when I put the water in
the hole.”
